Nevadans for Background Checks submitted a ballot measure petition
with over 246,000 signatures as the next step emulating a successful
effort in Washington State, Dave Workman noted Thursday, citing a KTNV News report. That move, Workman recalled, had been predictable, along with expected efforts in other states.
The Nevada effort was warned against in this column last August, in
its revelation that, far from being a group springing up from the
grassroots, Nevadans for Background Checks is a front group backed by Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown
for Gun Safety organization. The corporation name was reserved with the
Nevada Secretary of State by the same New York law firm that
represented Everytown’s trademark registration. The Political Action
Committee was headed by the Everytown treasurer, who also directed the
I-594 Action Fund in Washington State.
That was all part of a well-planned and funded effort to expand “action group” efforts to the states reported in this column, initially in July of 2013, and warned of again
in December of last year because no one else seemed to be noticing.
It’s hard to organize against developing threats if the existence of
where they are and how they’re structured is unknown.
Significantly, the KTNV "legitimate news media / real reporter" story mentioned none of this.
I guess letting Nevadans know outside special interests are trying to
buy an election isn't newsworthy and/or doesn't help advance the agenda.
